Deel I X Voorwoord Die Raad van die Van Riebeeck-Vereniging het heelwat moeilikhede ondervind in sy pogings om 'n herdruk te besorg van die beskrywing van die Kaap die Goeie Hoop wat in die vyfde en laaste deel van François Valentyn* se omvattende Oud en Nieuw Oost-Indiën verskyn. Dat hierdie moeilikhede uiteindelik te bowe gekom is, is geheel en al te danke aan die toegewyde pogings van die mense wat ek in hierdie voorwoord vermeld. Alhoewel eksemplare van Valentyn se lywige oorspronklike werk uiters skaars is, is die inhoud van deel vyf al lank onder Suid-Afrikaanse historici en taalkundiges bekend, en is dit al uitvoerig as bronnemateriaal gebruik; dit ten spyte van die feit dat Valentyn ruimskoots van die werk van ander skrywers gebruik gemaak het, en dikwels hulle eie woorde gebruik het, soms mét erkenning, soms daarsonder. Hy het byvoorbeeld uitgebreid gebruik gemaak van Peter Kolb[e] se Caput Bonae Spei Hodiernum. Ander werke wat hy gebruik of eenvoudig in syne opgeneem het, was Reizen van Nicolaus de Graaff, Simon van der Stel se joernaal van sy 1705-ekspedisie, asook Dapper se Naukeurige Beschryvinge der Afrikansche Gewesten, Commelin se Begin ende Voortgang van de ... Oost-Indische Compagnie en ander. Deskundiges besef al lank dat Valentyn se eie waarnemings in verhouding slegs 'n klein deel van die teks uitmaak. Wyle prof. Serton wys in sy inleiding daarop dat die gebruik om bronne te erken nie in die tyd toe Valentyn geskryf het in dieselfde mate as verpligtend beskou is as wat vandag die geval is nie, en die feit dat hierdie en ander bronne gebruik is, doen nie afbreuk aan die waarde en belangrikheid van dié werk nie. Inderdaad het wyle prof. P. Serton, van 1956 tot 1963 lid van die Raad van die Vereniging en medewerker by die Vereniging se uitgawe van die Daghregister van Jan van Riebeeck en van The Narrative and Journal of Gerald McKiernan (V.R.V. no. 35, 1934), soveel belang geheg aan die Valentyn-teks wat oor die Kaap gaan, dat hy dit by die Vereniging vir herdruk aanbeveel het en aangebied het om as redakteur op te tree. Dit was in 1957. Die Raad het sy aanbod met dank aanvaar en prof. Serton het sy taak met behulp van 'n fotokopie van Valentyn se teks aangepak. Voor sy dood in 1963 het hy reeds 'n groot aantal van die voetnote klaar gehad, hoofsaaklik dié vir die eerste deel, wat strek tot aan die end van Simon van der Stel se joernaal, en het hy ook al 'n inleiding geskryf wat hier feitlik * Voetnoot: Alhoewel dit moderne gebruik is om Valentyn se naam ook met ‘ij’ te skryf, is die skryfwyse van die naam soos dit op die oorspronklike uitgawe se titelblad voorkom om praktiese redes in hierdie uitgawe gevolg. François Valentijn, Beschryvinge van de Kaap der Goede Hoope. Deel I XI Foreword The Council of the van Riebeeck Society encountered many difficulties in its efforts to issue a reprint of the description of the Cape of Good Hope which appears in the fifth and last part of François Valentyn's* comprehensive Oud en Nieuw Oost-Indiën. That these difficulties have finally been overcome is due entirely to the devoted efforts of the people I mention in this foreword. Although copies of Valentyn's original and voluminous original work are extremely rare, the contents of part five have long been known to South African historians and linguists and have been used extensively as source material; this despite the fact that Valentyn made extensive use of the work of other writers, often using their very words, sometimes with and sometimes without, acknowledgement. He, for instance, made extensive use of Peter Kolb[e]'s Caput Bonae Spei Hodiernum. Other works he used, or simply incorporated, were, Reizen van Nicolaus de Graaff, Simon van der Stel's journal of his Namaqualand journey and Starrenberg's journal of his 1705 expedition, as well as Dapper's Naukeurige Beschryvinge der Afrikaensche Gewesten, Commelin's Begin ende Voortgangh van de ... Oost-Indische Compagnie and others. It has long been realised by scholars that Valentyn's own observations form only a small proportion of the text. As the late Prof. Serton points out in his introduction, at the time Valentyn wrote the practice of acknowledging sources was not considered as imperative as it is today, and the fact that these other sources have been used does not detract from the value and importance of this work. In fact the late Prof. P. Serton, a member of the Council of the Society from 1956 until 1963, who had been a collaborator in the Society's edition of the Journal of Jan van Riebeeck and also in the Narrative and Journal of Gerald McKiernan (V.R.S. No. 35, 1934) attached so much importance to the Valentyn text dealing with the Cape that he recommended it to the Society for reprinting and offered to act as editor. This was in 1957. The Council accepted his offer with gratitude and Prof. Serton commenced his work with the help of a photo-copy of the Valentyn text. Before his death in 1963 he had already completed a good many of the footnotes, mostly those for the first section up to the end of the journal of Simon van der Stel, and had already written an introduction which is pub- * Footnote: Although in modern usage Valentyn's name is spelt also with an ‘ij’, the spelling ‘Valentyn’ (as on the title page of the original edition) has been retained in this edition for practical reasons. François Valentijn, Beschryvinge van de Kaap der Goede Hoope. Deel I XII onveranderd geplaas word. Daarbenewens het hy begin werk aan 'n opsomming in Engels. Die Raad het besluit om nietemin voort te gaan met die publikasie, desnoods met onvolledige annotasie. Daar is ook besluit dat die publikasie in sy geheel, saam met die voltooide Engelse opsomming, tewens die vorm van 'n huldeblyk aan wyle prof. Serton sou aanneem. Mnr. A.J. Tromp, personeellid van die Suid-Afrikaanse Biografiese Woordeboek in Kaapstad en toevallig 'n oud-student van prof. Serton, het ingestem om die biografiese en algemeen-historiese voetnote te voltooi. Op 31 Mei 1969 is mnr. Tromp egter ook oorlede, sonder dat hy die geleentheid gehad het om hierdie taak te voltooi. Intussen het dit, by wyse van 'n gelukkige toeval, in 1965 onder die Raad se aandag gekom dat majoor Ronald Raven-Hart van Durban sy eie volledige vertaling van deel vyf van Valentyn in Engels gemaak het, heeltemal onafhanklik van die Van Riebeeck-Vereniging, en dat hy bereid was om dit aan die Vereniging vir publikasie beskikbaar te stel. Bowendien het hy sy veelvuldige voetnote aangebied, wat 'n belangrike aanvulling by prof. Serton se aantekeninge was. Toe die Raad in 1966 die vertaling en aantekeninge ter insae ontvang het, is daar onmiddellik besef watter uitstekende en akkurate weergawe van die oorspronklike werk majoor Raven-Hart se vertaling was en hoe waardevol sy aantekeninge was. Die Raad het tereg gevoel dat majoor Raven-Hart se bydrae tot hier die publikasie van soveel belang was dat redakteurserkenning aan hom toegekom het. Dit verdien spesiale vermelding dat hierdie vertaling van deel vyf van Valentyn die eerste volledige vertaling is wat in Engels gepubliseer word, hoewel gedeeltes soos The Namaqualand Journey of Simon van der Stel deur prof. Gilbert Waterhouse vertaal en in 1932 gepubliseer is en Hoofstuk 5, oor die Hottentotte, wat byna geheel uit Dapper se Naukeurige Beschryvinge der Afrikaensche Gewesten geneem is, uit Dapper vertaal is in The Early Cape Hottentots ... van Schapera en Farrington (V.R.V. no. 14, 1933). Die Raad het dus besluit om die Valentyn-teks tesame met die volledige Engelse vertaling te publiseer, met die voetnote in Afrikaans. Om praktiese redes is daar besluit om die werk in twee dele uit te gee. Die verdelingspunt is arbitrêr gekies, en die eerste deel eindig net na die teks van Simon van der Stel se ontdekkingsreis na die Koperberge. Die Raad het ook in 1969 'n aanbod van dr. W.J. de Kock, 'n lid van die Raad en Hoofredakteur van die Suid-Afrikaanse Biografiese Woordeboek, om as eindredakteur op te tree en om die voetnote te voltooi veral dié van biografiese en algemeen-historiese aard, met dank aanvaar.

  • According to the Minutes Kept by the Secretary to the Council of Justice
    Sodomy, race and respectability in Stellenbosch and Drakenstein, 1689 – 1762: the story of a family, loosely defined Susie Newton-King This article explores the interacting dynamics of race, class, status and respectability in the emerging colonial society at the Cape of Good Hope in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. It is essentially a case study, which examines the background to the trial and execution of Gerrit Coetzee, the first freeburgher to be accused of sodomy at the Cape. By implication, it raises a number of questions about the rural community in which Gerrit was raised and it re-opens old debates about the degree of colour blindness and the determinants of status in early colonial South Africa. Was Gerrit a victim of racial or social prejudice? Was he excluded, cold-shouldered or otherwise subtly marginalised by his young male peers in Daljosafat, where he lived? Was he driven by prejudice to seek the company of other marginalised individuals and ultimately to engage in suicidally transgressive behaviour? Or was he simply a young man who wrecked his chances by going too far? The trial On Thursday 10 September 1733 the freeburgher Gerrit Coetzee Jacobszoon (the son of Jacob) appeared before the Council of Justice in Cape Town. He was twenty one years old and he was charged with sodomy. He was already a prisoner in the Castle, having been arrested and brought to Cape Town from his home in Daljosafat (in Drakenstein) some time in late July. He had twice been interrogated in the presence of commissioned members of the Council, but this was his first appearance in the long meeting room in the Kat bastion, where the council met every Thursday.

Het voorafgaande deel eindigde met Simon van der Stel's terugkeer op het Kasteel na zijn groots opgezette en flink uitgevoerde tocht naar de Koperbergen. Hoe gaarne had de Kommandeur als gevolg ervan grote voordelen voor de Edele Compagnie gemeld! Maar het waarklik koperrijk gebied was wegens de verre afstand en de toenmalige middelen van vervoer van geen nut; zijn tocht is alleen voor ons van belang om de berichten over land en volk, in het biezonder de verhouding der Namaqua-hoofden tot hun volk, en om de pogingen de inboorlingen in vrede te doen leven. Vreedzaam verkeer met het binnenland, zonder betrokken te worden in de telkens weer uitbrekende onderlinge oorlogen, was voor de Compagnie van grote betekenis voor de veestapel en de vleeslevering aan de schepen. En dan bleef onuitroeibaar de overtuiging dat het binnenland goud bevatte en ook de hoop op levendig handelsver keer met machtige binnenlandse rijken behield men tot in het laatste vierde deel van de achttiende eeuw.

WERZ CAPE TOWN, MAY 2003 Maritime archaeology and the port of Cape Town SUMMARY The following specialist report forms part of the larger Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) for the Port of Cape Town, the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the extension of the container terminal in that port, and the related sourcing of fill material. The development and management of these assessments, as well as the monitoring and guiding of specialist studies, is being undertaken jointly by Sakaza Communications and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), and specifically the Council’s environmental department (Environmentek). The project is commissioned by the National Ports Authority (NPA), Port of Cape Town. The project was set in motion towards the end of the 1990s, whereby the emphasis initially lay with the EIA for the proposed expansion of the container terminal in Cape Town harbour. During the orientation phase for this, that included a public participation process, a number of key issues were identified. These vary considerably and range from planning, traffic management, visual and noise effects, to potential impacts on the marine ecology and cultural resources in the area.
